W. Lax Still Winless in Ivies

Dartmouth continued its offensive burst with four more unanswered goals, highlighted by Newitt, Smith and freshman Kate Killen, who notched a goal and an assist apiece.

With 5:26 remaining in the game, Corkery began a Crimson rally with a goal from a free position. Harper scored her second goal of the game from a pass from junior Lizzie Frisbie. Shaughnessy put another shot past Dartmouth goalie Sarah Hughes with 15 seconds left in the game, but the rally fell short as Harvard lost the 10-6 battle.

"We had two big problem points- our transitions and our settled attack," Harper said.

The Big Green outshot the Crimson, 32-15 and also led the ground ball count, 32-14.

Hughes, the Ivy League defensive player of the week, had eight saves while Harvard goalie Nora Guyer finished the game with 10 saves. Newitt scored a career-high three goals for the Big Green.

With the victory, Dartmouth stretched its win streak to eight games. Last Sunday, Dartmouth took a big 12-11 win against No. 13 Penn State. The streak sets the stage for the Big Green's game against No. 3 Princeton on Saturday.

"We really need to focus in the next two days," Harper said. "We need to get back to the basics and to playing as a team."
